“With his stunning free skate at Worlds, Yuzuru Hanyu has silenced all the haters who called him a ‘has-been’ and has cemented his place as one of the greatest figure skaters to have ever been. Absolutely stunning”

“I jokingly told my cousin that Yuzuru Hanyu needs a 220 to secure the gold medal. I did not expect him actually getting a 223.”

Let's Go Crazy - Pooh and Yuzu ver.

Sendai Monument Ceremony: Part 1

- Courtesy of Mainichi

This was a really nice interview, but 45mins is a long time and I don’t want the post to become overly long, so I’ve decided to break it into parts instead. Here is roughly the first 20mins of the talk show.

Shizuka: No well, at that time Japan’s Figure Skating was rather blocked off by the rest of the world, a time when we did not get through to the rest of the world. Ever since Ito Midori we didn’t really.., we only had 1 spot and there were no opportunities. So it was called a Western Sport, a sport which was hard to beat the western athletes in. For myself, even when I left Japan to compete internationally, I never really even thought about winning. So therefore I didn’t really…even after winning the All Japan Junior’s and then following that the All Japan Nationals, I felt that at an international level, if I were to compete internationally, those wins wouldn’t get (me) through. That’s all I could think about.

Yama: In other words, to Hanyu, for example if the choreographer were to say something like “maybe we should just change this part” (you’d reply with) “No way, don’t be ridiculous" - is that how it is?

Yuzu: Well, if I was told “Isn’t it better to change?”, I would give a performance that would completely overthrow that. As if to say “did you see that?!”, and “This is what I wanted to do!”
